How to change package name already taken in Google Play but not published yet

Question

I have set up a package name like "com.correct.aaa" for my new app in Google Play. But after I uploaded apk with wrong packege name like "com.wrong.bbb", google play takes my wrong package name, and replace over the old one...

When I re-upload a new apk with correct package name, I got Upload failed "Your APK or Android App Bundle needs to have the package name com.wrong.bbb"

How can I change it back to my original package name???

Thanks,

You need to create a new application in the Play Console. It is not possible to change the package name after the first upload.

we can delete the app if it is in draft and create one. but once it is published we cannot delete it.
